Chapter 100 Business
The two of them were gossiping casually, Su Zicheng's mood gradually relaxed, leaning comfortably on the chair, slowly sipping tea, the cool wind was oozing with the fragrance of lotus flowers, how long has it been like this peace and relaxation?
"Do you really want to do this business in Fengle Building?" Li Xiaoqi asked casually, Su Zicheng said 'um' affirmatively, and Li Xiaoqi sighed: "You have thought about it!" Look here, it's really quiet, this garden is now a blessed land for insects, birds and frogs, if the business is good, this blessed land will be gone! β
"There are so many quiet places, I don't care about this place." Su Zicheng said casually, and Li Xiaoqi nodded heavily: "That's right, in fact, you don't need to look for it, you have nothing to do in your heart, it's quiet anywhere." Su Zicheng sighed sullenly, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "Have you seen the excerpt of the Liangdi prisoner?" β
"Well, the excerpt from a month ago? Already disposed of? β
"The people are taken directly to Kaiping Mansion, and they must be dealt with when they see them, and they are ready to be sent to Baitou Mountain to herd horses." As soon as he talked about the prisoner of Liangdi, Su Zicheng's brows furrowed again, and Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at him and asked, "Is this the disposition discussed by the court?" β
"There is no need to discuss this matter," Su Zicheng paused, and then said: "I have made the king of Liang, and there will be a decree in a few days." β
"Congratulations! Let them go to herd horses? How can these useless scholars herd horses! Li Xiaoqi congratulated casually, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyi, waiting for her next words, Li Xiaoyi's heart was racing, and he said with a smile: "These scholars, they can't muster up the courage to die, and they can't wipe their faces from the dragon, so they are in such a dilemma, and they are all surnamed Li Min, if they are worried about the warmth and food every day, they know that the pawn and the peddler, the camp of all beings, who cares which family and which surname the emperor is?" It is only right that everyone can live a stable life, with fewer corrupt officials and fewer tax servants. β
Su Zicheng raised his eyebrows, stared at Li Xiaoyi, and exhaled for a while: "β’β’β’β’β’β’What are you talking about?"
"I'm just putting it bluntly, didn't the sage say that public opinion is like water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, isn't it the same reason?" Li Xiaoqi intercepted Su Zicheng's words and said, Su Zicheng was silent for a moment, nodded, looked at Li Xiaoyi, and suddenly said with a smile: "Since you don't approve of sending those useless scholars to herd horses, otherwise, I will give it to you, and use it for you!" Li Xiaoqi was taken aback: "What do I want them to do?" I can't afford it! No! β
"There are nineteen in total, people will use it for you, and I will give you the silver, is ten taels of silver enough for one person a month? Whatever you want them to do, there are only two things, one is not allowed to leave Kaiping Mansion, and the other is not allowed to die, except for sickness and old age. Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaomi, who jumped up in fright, he was in a good mood, and said the conditions with a smile, Li Xiaoyi raised his hand and twisted his chin, thought carefully for a moment, and nodded: "It's okay, make up a whole, two hundred taels of silver a month, you let me give me the details of these nineteen people's resumes and relatives, and also, since the person gives it to me, as long as I don't die or run, everything else is fine?" β
"Okay! As long as you don't die or run, everything else is up to you! Su Zicheng replied simply, Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and thought about it, this matter is the best of both worlds, and after listening to Mr. Fan's words and earning silver, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "Those who do big things can't always stare at small things such as silver money, these have their own subordinates to take care of." β
"What you say reminds me of a joke, don't you listen to it?" Li Xiaoqi smiled with bent eyes, looked at Su Zicheng and said, Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoqi and nodded, Li Xiaoqi said slowly: "There has always been a prince, the most thrifty, and he is reluctant to throw away the pants when he wears them out, so let the housekeeper take them to patch them and come back to wear them. The minister said, "In the next poor family, I will eat two chickens in the morning." The prince was shocked: "Mr. is poor and dares to eat two chickens at once?" That chicken is extremely expensive, it costs two taels of silver a piece! I only dare to eat half of a meal! The minister was speechless. β
Su Zicheng leaned at Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Also, this prince is a smart person, very smart, when he returned to the house, he called the housekeeper over to ask about this chicken, and the housekeeper explained unhurriedly: 'The prince doesn't know, they eat the chickens under the people's chickens, and the prince eats the chickens under the emperor's chickens, which is a hundred times and a thousand times worse!'" Not only this, but like the pants that the prince mended last time, in order to pick out exactly the same material, he cut two or three pieces of material before picking it out, and this patch is one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Su Zicheng was silent when he heard this, looked at Li Xiaoyi, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Your joke is very interesting, I'll tell my eldest brother tomorrow." Li Xiaoqi smiled and did not speak.
It was getting late, the two got up and came out, walked out along the verandah, Su Zicheng put his hands behind his back, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said casually: "I want to go to Kaibao Temple tomorrow to make incense, you can accompany me." β
"Well, good!" Li Xiaoqi simply agreed, and the two arrived at the door, Su Zicheng looked at Zhang Gouzi, who was waiting at the door with his hands in his sleeves, shrinking his head, and frowned slightly, this little guy is really not good, forget it, let her go, Su Zicheng called Nanning over, and told him to take someone to send Li Xiaoqi back, and watched Li Xiaoqi get into the car before getting on the horse and going back to the palace.
Li Xiaoqi sat in the car and breathed a long sigh of relief, today is a big harvest, this Fengle Lou business is not good, but it is due to Su Zicheng's so-called Yajing, this wine shop is not a academy, who wants to come like this? As long as you add everything that should be in the wine shop, such as a female singer or something, and renovate the dishes, what is the bad business? This silver is in hand, and the daily use of the house will not have to worry for a while and a half, and it will last for a year or two, if the weaving mill is up, by the way, I forgot to ask him to help ask the weaver to do so! Don't be in a hurry, I'll talk about it tomorrow, anyway, I have to accompany him to Kaibao Temple tomorrow to incense, as long as the business of the weaving workshop is up, even if this family has the foundation of a family, after doing this, I may be able to relax, and then β’β’β’β’β’β’
And then what to do yourself? Married? What if you can't marry the one you want to marry the most? Then don't marry? yes, why make up for it! If he knew that he would have a concubine in the future, maybe there would be more than one, would he marry or not? Why don't you marry and then bother with it? There is always a way to marry in the pastβ’β’β’β’β’β’ alas, forget it, I don't want to, what's the use of wanting it now? Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
At dawn the next day, Changming came to pick up Li Zongliang and others and sent them to the Huwei military camp.
